A Texas exchange says the cattle trade is strengthening, and con tracts for spring delivery are being talked about very freely. The de- mand is as yet uncertain, but there are very respectable list of buyers in the field. Prices are likely to be uncertain for several weeks, and the impression prevails that delays are in the sellers favor. To stockmen the situation appears encouraging. To this date (the 14th February the winter has been uncommonly friendly, so that the range element believes more fully in repetition of the winter of 19S1-'S2.

There is more truth than poetry in the following, which we clip from the Texas Live Stock Journal: "An old Texas veteran, who can write a check for six figures and have it honored in any bank in the south west, but who began life after the war with broken down pony and lariat, says that there is too much figuring in the office and not en- ough rounding up on the range among those long-named cattle companies. In the office the direc- tors figure so many yearlings ready for market in the spring, but on the range they are starving and famish- ing, offering more employment to the skinner than to the herder."

The New Mexico Legislature has enacted very strict quarantine law against Texas. In short, to read it is to be convinced that New Mexi- co has concluded that she has all the cattle her ranges can do justice to. It is pretty we'll established that no law will hold water which attempts to restrict or prohibit the movement of healthy cattle, and we predict that the law in question will be the cause of creating a good deal of bad blood between New Mexico and Texas cowmen, while Texas cattle that are free from dis ease or come from non-infected dis tricts will move right along as in the past.-Range Journal.

A dispatch from Butte, Montana, of the 9th ult., says the thermome- ter has been ranging from 40 to 60 degrees below for the past ten days. Specials from Fort Assinaboinc, Fort Shaw and Benton say cattle are now dying from exposure by the thousands.
 A dispatch three days later from the same place says reports received from Fort Benton, Fort Assina- boine and upper river towns, say the loss of life from the cold will be larger than anticipated. Ranch men were unable to go after fuel. Those going from one town to an other were lost in the blizzards. A great many cowboys endeavoring to drive cattle, were frozen. Some have to get their lower limbs am- putated.
 A dispatch of the 18th ut. from Salt Lake City says the stock losses of our Montana friends must be something fearful to contemplate. With the thermometer showing AS degrees below zero, and the wind blowing hurricane, there is noth- ing for a starving animal to do but to die. We expect to hear that whole herds have been swept away. and the loss must be almost beyonG estimate. It seems clear that the storm and cold combined which struck our sister territory last week made the conditions more severe than there has been any record of for years.
